Mission Avenue

Came in today to see my buddy that was working as the head Chef, Woody. Turns out he's no longer here but I stayed and had lunch anyway. I'm glad I did. ???? The bartender Amy was very attentive and brought me a Raspberry vodka & sprite in about 90 seconds after I asked for it! So nice. Not too strong but not weak either, just right! The ice was the perfect temperature too. ???? I thought about ordering the Green chili pork fries based on Amy's excellent description of it, but unfortunately I am allergic to onions so I had to choose something else. I was bummed because she made them sound so delicious. With no way to pull the onions out, as they are cooked into the sauce I had to pass. It sounded so good I almost ordered it anyway! I ended up settling on the Turkey Sandwich and was incredibly surprised. Way better than I expected, in fact I told her it literally reminded me if the day after Thanksgiving, but seriously elevated! It didn't have cranberry on it but something gave me a rem

This place is AMAZING! Reasonable prices, great atmosphere, personable service and delicious food! We had the fried chicken sandwich and the short rib grilled cheese and tomato soup. The chicken was perfectly crispy and moist. The flavors were balanced so well and it had the perfect amount of spice giving it flavor while not burning your mouth. The short rib on the grilled cheese was cooked perfectly and paired so well with the tomato soup! Don’t get me wrong, that grilled cheese was delicious but I think it could be taken to the next level by adding another flavor element such as a hint of roasted chiles or something. That being said, I’d still come back for either entree and be completely satisfied! The fries were flakey and crispy. So good! We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Waitress was amazing at handling the entire dining room by herself but the food was huge disappointment. Kitchen needs to do a better job at quality control regarding what is coming out to the diners. We had not eaten here in over 18 months and felt the quality or ownership has changed- not for the better. Portobello mushroom burger was inedible and had to be taken off the bill, one of the dinner salads was so overdressed it was inedible, and the other two entrees were mediocre. Will not eat here again.
